Button Function Failure on Adobe Content Viewer

Why do the button functions work well the first time I view them on my iPad's Adobe Content Viewer but do not function properly in subsequent viewings?
For example, the next page buttons work flawlessly during the first viewing on the iPad. But from the second time they functions awkwardly. The Next page button on Page 1 stops functioning. The one on Page 2 takes me back to Page 1.

Same issue-- and it's been a few weeks now. As far as I can tell it is a waiting issue

Use the iPad Viewer to preview content
The Adobe Content Viewer for the iPad is a generic version of the viewer used for testing the digital content you create on the iPad. The iPad viewer is updated whenever the Folio Producer tools are updated.
Note: However, when a new set of tools is released, folios you create with those tools may not work properly until Apple approves the new viewer version. If you try to open the folio, a “Please update your app” message appears. If you have a Professional or Enterprise account, you can create a custom version of the Adobe Content Viewer. See
“Create a custom Adobe Content Viewer for iPad” on page
98. Otherwise, hold off on updating the tools or use the Desktop Viewer until Apple approves the updated viewer.

DPS Animation & Full Screen Video functionality failure when viewing mag in Adobe Content Viewer

HI There,
Specifically the following issues are occuring when we view the mag through the Adobe Content Viewer on our Ipad.
All Title animations are not functioning at all (although in the SWF viewer they are working fine)
Although we select the media to be played full screen when we are setting up the videos in the media panel they won't play full screen, but play perfectly well in the place we put them. - full screen doesnt function in the SWF viewer either.
The control bars to control playing, stopping, full screen etc also don't appear on our videos we selected. - doesn't function in the SWF viewer like it should with the control bars working
In terms of how we set everything up just to confirm we are doing it right.
For animations.
1. Select copy to animate
2. Click on Animations panel, chose the preset fade in, selected the time 1.25seconds, animate from current appearance, fade in.
For videos
Our videos are H264 Quicktime videos all 16x9 in ratio
1. Went to media panel.
2. Searched for file to insert
3. Inserted it and sized down the actual physical size of the video to fit in the space we wanted (NB we didn't create a rectangle to put them in or anything)
4. Chose the poster from file
5. Selected skin over play full screen & show controller over rollover
Any help to sort this out would be appreciated. Thanks so much in advance

Hi BellaMove:
For the animations:
You have to create a document with the size of the animation you want to create and give attributes using the animation panel of indesign.
Then you export to fla and using Adobe Wallaby pass it to HTML5.
Then place them by the panel Overlay Creator (Web Content). Using the Content Viewer can not see it on your desktop. You'll have to climb the publication in the ipad to see the result.
Do not forget to retouch the css. Read this:
http://digitalpublishing.tumblr.com/post/3898796141/animate-headlines-or-other-things
Is the simplest way to make simple animations I've found.
I hope you find it helps

Adobe Content Viewer: Failure to load folio

Recently I tried to preview a folio on my desktop (mac) at work, and it failed to load. I then tried to add that folio to my current folio builder to see if I could preview it on my shared device....
It then got stuck at the "building folio" with a checkbox stage and never proceeded past it. I had to quit inDesign eventually.
I feel like something got corrupted while trying to preview the multistate object, which then somehow corrupted Adobe Air. Please help!

My Adobe Content Viewer is completely empty. It doesn't matter which account I log into, no folios are ever displayed. This includes folios which were produced and published long ago (and showed up in ACV last week).
I have verified that the folios exist in the account. They show up in the Folio Builder panel in InDesign and in the Folio Producer online. They just will not load in ACV.
I tried on a iPad using WiFi. I also tried on an iPhone over LTE (to eliminate local network issues). Still nothing for ANY account (I tried 5 different ones).
I completely removed the app on both devices (through Usage->Manage Storage->Delete App). Then re-downloaded from Apple Store (v 32.3.0). Still nothing.
I installed a proxy service and watched the responses from the Adobe servers. I do see XML being returned with the folios and their data, so it seems to be an ACV issue.

How can I view content that I've archived on the iPad Adobe Content Viewer?

Sorry, I'm new to the DPS process. I tapped "Archive" in the Adobe Content Viewer thinking that I would be able to retrieve it from the archive. I haven't been able to find that capability yet! I've tried renaming the document in InDesign and updating, thinking the project would appear in the content viewer. Again, no dice. I even deleted the content viewer from the iPad and reinstalled. Logged out, logged in. No dice. I cannot seem to have any luck seeing my project again. It was displaying just fine earlier today. Damn curiosity! Why did I tap on the archive button? Any help would be much appreciated!
Cheers,
Dave

I guess what I was asking is when you tap Archive in the Adobe Content Viewer on the iPad there is a pop-up that says "Are you sure you want to Archive?" and "This item will be removed from your device. You may download it again at anytime for free." But there is no option to do this within the iPad app! At least none that I can see.
I ended up creating a new folio with the same articles. It works now, but the archive function is not intuitive! It should work the same as when you archive magazines in the Newstand app. I mean, that's how people expect it to work. I guess in Adobe speak archive = delete!
Anyway, if you archive something it removes it from the app and you will not see a download button.
Thanks!
Dave

Adobe content viewer UI

Hi everyone,
I hope someone can help with a little problem I have.
I have been creating a multi page folio and on some of teh pages I created and animation using edge animate. The animation is trigered by a button created in edge animate. I have exported this out as an oam file and the only issue I have is everytime i press teh button the Adobe content viewer UI pops up for a short time.
I have tried placing a large button on the whole page to avoid this happening but it still does it.
Any suggestions as to how to stop this appearing would be much appreciated.
Kindest regards
Simimc

Unfortunetly because the trigger to make the .oam to play is in the .oam, you can't put a button that blocks access to the web-content overlay. It's going to be nearly impossible to maintain the functionality you want while blocking the UI from poping up in the ACV. What you'll need to do is build a test .ipa file to side load onto your iPad. \
When you build the .ipa in the DPS App Builder you need to set the bottom hot zone to the smallest high possible (5%). This will prevent the UI from being triggered by an accidential touch.

Edge Animate file turns black when viewed in Folio, but worked great in adobe content viewer before uploading to folio panel.

What am I doing wrong?
I created simple animations to work in DPS. Basically hot spot button that toggle on and off showing features and benefits. When viewed and tested in adobe content viewer, everything worked great. Now that I am ready to upload the folio as an ipa app. The animations turn black over the image that it is supposed to be on top of.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks Neil, that worked once I'd installed it directly into the Applications folder, not within a subfolder.
So if anyone else has this issue, install the Desktop Viewer app for CC and it works for both CS6 and CC.
NOTE, that you need to double-click the Install Adobe Content Viewer.app file, don't look for a file called Install Adobe Content Viewer.air as per the instructions, as they are out of date.
Phew, I have finally got all my DPS functionality back, and have created a V27 app using V28.

Button function failure

Why do my button functions work perfectly on my iPad2 Adobe Content Viewer the first time and then do not function at all in subsequent viewings. For example, the next page button ceases functioning after the first viewing. On page 2, the next page button returns me to Page 1.

Hi lhprod,
I was looking at this document:
http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/help/supported-interactivity-features.html
Note in the Interactivity features not supported section the reference to button actions. I think this is not a supported feature.

Adobe Content Viewer not installed on V28

Today I updated both my CC and CS6 versions of InDesign, so I now have V28 of DPS tools, however there is no Content Viewer app available for my Mac (Running )SX 10.8.5).
When I try to preview on Desktop via the Folio Builder panel, an error stating that the Adobe Content Viewer couldn't be found comes up.
All the Adobe Support documents go through the process of finding the AdobeContentViewer.air file in the /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Installers/AdobeDigitalPublishingCS6/ContentViewer folder, but I only have three files in that folder:
Adobe AIR Installer.app
Install Adobe Content Viewer.app
Install DPS App Builder.app
So I can't double-click it to reinstall it.
My Air is up to date, my Updates are all up to date, and I can't find how to unistall InDesign (I am a Creative Cloud subsriber).
I used my Time Machine backup to go and get it from a back up, but it wouldn't install when I double-clicked the old version (I was getting desperate!)
However I can preview the same Folio on my connected iPad running the latest version of the Adobe Content Viewer app
After a live chat, then over two hours on hold for some UK technical support on my land line, and just over an hour on my mobile, plus a Skype call to the US 800 number to be informed of over an hour's wait there, and to discover UK support is only during office hours, and after nearly two hours it has passed 5.30pm, I had to give up on Adobe's official technical support, and resort to more searching on Adobe forums, but have found nothing for CC or CS6 that I haven't already tried, except unistalling and reinstalling InDesign. But I can't find how do that via Creative Cloud. At one point I had to tell one of the nice indian "technical support" staff not to put me back in the same loop as I'd been in twice before as I was close to tears. He sympathised but told me it wasn't his area of expertise - surprise surprise... Not a good day.
Pleeeese, is anyone else having this problem, or has anyone else solved this problem?
Thanks in anticipation

Hyperlinks not working in Adobe Content Viewer?

Hey
I'm trying to link a photo to another page in InDesign. It doesn't really matter how I do it, it's mainly important that it works .
So far I have managed to create a working hyperlink from a photo to a page, and it works on my computer. But as soon as I test it out in Adobe Content Viewer, nothing happens when I press the photo.
Is this possible to do?
Thanks!

Here is the link to the navto help documentation as well as a screen shot on how to set it up.

navto://ArticleName#page is the format. ArticleName#0 and ArticleName# will both bring you to the first page of the article.

Need to download folios repeatedly in Adobe Content Viewer

Hi:
We are using Adobe Content Viewer (ACV) for a digital education project. The ACV app is used in iPad´s and when are turned off, we need to download again all the folios previously downloaded to the ACV app.
Someone who has the same problem, how to fix it?.
Thanks,
Oscar

I am using iPad 2 with iOS 7.0.4. and latest ACV, more than 10 gb free.
1. Basically, I download a folio on my iPad device, I can open it and everything is just fine. When I click "remove issues from library" I see both folios, one occupies 28 mb, the other one 48 mb. One is made for viewer version 20 the other for 26.
2. Then, I shut down the device completely and turn it back on after few seconds.
3. I launch ACV, both of those folios appear just fine, until I click on them.
4. Just as I click on a folio, the background appears just light gray, without any content. If I tap on the screen, I don't even get top menu, where I can return to library. So I have to force quit ACV.
5. When I launch ACV again, both folios have the cloud icon next to them, and I need to download them in order to view them, HOWEVER, when I click "remove issues from library" button, I see that both folios are still there with the same mb size.
So, it looks like they are still on the device, but for some reasons I need to re-download them again.
Unfortunately I don't have any other iPads to test these folios.
Just to remind, this happens only to 2 out of many folios, both were made in summer last year, they are not published and are only used on the current device as presentations.
Regarding updates, to be honest, I don't remember if I had this prior to last iOS update, but I might not have noticed that.
Usually, if I see there is an update, I just update it.
Is there anything you would recommend to try?
I have not yet tried to remove ACV from the device and re-install. Or unshare that folio and share it again.

HTMLResources, does this work in the adobe content viewer on the iPad

HTMLResources, does this work in the adobe content viewer. I have created my HTMLResources folder with the pdf and zipped it. It how ever does not download anything when I press the button in the content viewer.

Hi Bob, I just did my test again. What I didn't do in the first place was zip the contents, not the folder. It worked, thank you very much. My next question is can these pdfs be saved into ibooks? Can we download content such as forms that can be filled in and then eamiled back via the ipad mail program?

Folio not opening in adobe content viewer

About a year ago, I created a magazine with Digital Publishing Suite for a college course and uploaded it to my ipad in Adobe Content Viewer. It was from a school computer and version of Indesign so I don't think I'd be able to reload the file onto the content viewer app if I needed to. When I open the content viewer, I see the cover of my magazine alongside an Adobe file that says "Release". This Adobe file is newly there, and so is a blue plug icon on the top corner of my magazine. When I click my magazine, the little info "i" turns into a spinning symbol, as if it were loading. However, nothing loads and nothing happens. I left it for hours and nothing happened. When I click to open the Adobe release file, it opens to a light grey screen with no content, buttons, or anything. There is nothing I can click on or do so it forces me to exit and quit the app.
Can someone please help me in figuring out what is causing it to not open? I'm frustrated at this point and am nervous to delete and redownload the app in case my file is lost. Like I said, not sure if it would still be there or if I could get it back again. (I also am signed into the app with my Adobe ID, if that helps)
Thanks!

Unfortunately you need to uninstall and reinstall the Adobe Content Viewer app, and doing so will result in the loss of the folio you see because you added it to the device using Preview on Device. Since you did this a year ago there have been several iOS changes that required updates to the application. There's really no way to resolve this without uninstalling, reinstalling, and then putting the content onto your device again.

Limitations/issues Adobe Content Viewer (Adobe Viewer) on Ipad 1 (not tested on 2)

There a a few problems/limitations I'm running into with the Adobe Content Viewer for Ipad 1 (not tested on 2), like:
Autoplaying more than 1 multiple-state is impossible. Only the object in the highest place in the layers is visible (like having pulsing navigation arrows and a fade in text) -works perfectly in de windows Adobe Content Viewer with Indesign 5.5
Autoplay of an multistate object with 'stop at last frame' does not work. It just fades the entire multistate object out, instead of holding. -works perfectly in de windows Adobe Content Viewer with Indesign 5.5.
Cropping Images (changing the objectbox) in indesign, becomes skewed (or squashed) like the image just gets pushed in the new objectbox size.
Buttons with a click image/appearence become invisible in a multistate object. -works perfectly in de windows Adobe Content Viewer with Indesign 5.5.
Some ideas for change
Not allowing an Overlay (which is larger than the page itself) on a page depth of 1, on top of a page with depth 0. Seeing content of the page below the currentpage seems quite unuseful.
Allow multistate objects to autoplay within another multistate object (thus allowing like a: menu catagorie wich can call an autoplaying slideshow)
Zooming in on an image without first having to tap on it to enable zooming.
Updating content button.
Hitting the update button in Indesign cs5.5 (windows) doesn't update all changed content.
Hitting download update in de Adobe Content Viewer (Ipad 1) doesn't change all changed content. Archive and redownload nessesary.
We would love to see the top issues working.

Would appreciate if anyone has inputs on how to solve this.
Thanks!

Hi Lohrii,
thanks for your help!
So I tried the following:
Download newest tools and install it
Create a new blank Folio (v30) with a simple page
Same error while starting preview from InDesign
I will now remove InDesign CC, test it and if this doesn't help I will reinstall CS6.
EDIT
Ok a complete reinstall of CS6 didn't help! I don't know what to do now. Any idea?
